			<div class="heading">7.1. Group forum:</div>
			The group forum is similar to a personal blog, except that it applies to an entire group, and not just a single person. The purpose of the group forum is to give group members a static text based platform to collaborate, ask questions and engage with each other. The group forum page displays a list of all the posts made on the selected group's forum.

			<div class="heading">7.2. View forum post:</div>
			When clicking on the view button next to the name of a post on the post list, the full post will be loaded. Here you can view the post made by a fellow group member, and also comments made on the post thus far. You may also choose to add you own comment by clicking the add comment link.
			<br/><br/>
			Should you be the manager of the group, you will notice the delete links next to the names of the post and the comments. This allows you to censor any posts and comments you find not to be in line with your group's policies.
